			* The decision to make [[Joseph Adama]] a Ha'la'tha lawyer was a deliberate creative choice to give the character a more complex starting point. This diverged from his backstory in ''Battlestar Galactica'', where he was established as a civil liberties attorney. The producers felt that starting him as a mob lawyer created a more interesting character arc, posing the question of how he would eventually become the civil liberties advocate his son, [[William Adama]], would remember.<ref>[[Podcast:Caprica pilot\|Podcast for ''Caprica'' pilot]], timestamp 00:30:04</ref>
